Las Vegas, NV
I saw two bright objects that looked like stars in the western sky that moved in a very smooth synchronous motion, Then the both objects faded out of view. They did not have flashing lights like a commercial or military plane and their flight pattern was not linear like a plane but smooth and wave like with one object paralleling or following the other.

Marysville, OH
Looking west from Marysville, OH, I saw a stationery craft in the sky with a light which moved from left to right and then back to the left. It looked flat in shape, like a pancake. Suddenly, the craft moved straight up in the sky, and then tilted toward the South and quickly shot across the horizon. When it tilted I could tell it was wider at the top and narrower toward the bottom. There was no noise. The craft was about 5 to 10 miles away. It traveled a distance of about 10 miles in about 5 seconds before I lost sight of it.

Salt Point State Park, CA
Witnessed a orange orb pulsating over the ocean. I actually was standing outside having coffee, and this object gave me a weird feeling, so I went back inside our Airstream trailer and filmed this object through window and window screen. One key note is that as it got closer, I noticed it pulsating, but also could a red interior coloration.

Napa, CA
I do star parties for hire with a large telescope I designed and built. At 12:50 a.m., I was going east on Trancas Street in Napa, CA, heading home from a star party. I observed a large orange/red circular light over about the area of the Queen of the Valley Hospital, about a quarter mile away from my position, moving slowly north to south, maybe 500-750 feet high (it looked lower than an airplane at pattern altitude). The diameter of the circular light I observed I'd say was on the order of about the diameter of the length of a small airplane viewed at that distance, perhaps a bit smaller, so while very subjective, perhaps in the range of 20' diameter. As I watched it slowly moving, it dropped a large light out of it! It fell straight down! And then it dropped another and another and then a whole string of maybe 6 or more! And more smaller lights shot out the top of the thing going up! I did get some pictures but of course they're not great. The lights were BRIGHT, and a dark reddish orange in color. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) I have enough doubt now that I should rescind my report I made yesterday re. Napa, CA. I think it was a tribute balloon on fire a lot closer to me than I thought.

Selah, WA
Saw a bright orange light once on the way to Selah while on the freeway, and then when we came home we saw what we thought to be the same light, in the same general spot (direction was NE, not too far from the Training Base) and we watched it for about a minute and a half before it disappeared after remaining stationary. It was too bright and too high up to be a street light, and we noticed that a nearby dog began to bark when it appeared, then ceased barking around the same time it disappeared.

Lansing, MI
Was on the back deck having a smoke, when I look up in the sky, I see orange orbs in the shape of a triangle with two more sets of orbs at the large end triangle. Kind of like a manta ray, just above the tree line. I heard no noise coming from it, the sky was clear, and it just hovered there. I went back inside and got my cell phone to take a picture. When I had my cell phone up to take the picture, the lights shimmered and it was gone before I could take a picture. Source of the report elects to remain anonymous; provides no contact information.

Goshen, IN
It was lower than normal for anything which would make sense to see in the sky, and it was far enough away you couldn't see the shape but just the colors of blinking lights which had Green, red, and white lights blinking. It hovered for over couple of hours from what I seen. And moved slowly left to right up and down. I then looked around and seen another light that wasn't a star toward Northeast which was the front of my house. This light was far away as well. You could see the colors like the one that was off to the side of my house. Both did the same things they hovered and I watched off and on and tried to take pics and videos with my phone. And that was hard enough to zoom in and focus on them and see the different colors. You could see the different colors with your eyes, but it was hard with my camera phone.

My husband and I went out to our back deck at approx 9:30pm (21:30) on April 22, 2017, to sit for a few moments. Upon exiting the east door to the deck we noticed the stars and Jupiter were quite bright and the moon was absent. We shut off our deck lights so we could observe the sky since we know there was a meteor shower last night but we're not fortunate enough to see any. I thought perhaps we would see some left-over meteors tonight, so we stood facing east on the back/side deck area with the porch lights out. To the south/south east is the city and it is brighter in that direction, there was also slight mist/clouds in that direction only (at that time). So, we both stood for a few minutes, and we both happened to be looking at the same thing, (which we did. It realize until we were shocked at what we saw) two identical stars of exact same brightness, from our distance they appeared very small and high up, white in color, and approx 2-3 inches apart (of course we were on the deck looking at the sky), seems like normal stars, I thought the clouds were moving in fast but as it was it was NOT the clouds moving it was the "stars." These objects moved exactly the same speed, were exactly the same size, exactly the same brightness, color exactly the same white, they appeared to never move erratically, they stayed exactly the same distance apart while moving, they both moved in the line of 2 at the same speed across the sky in an east/south east direction. When they were directly in front of us in the sky, over our east neighbors rooftop, looking east, they grew VERY BRIGHT, the light was not quite white at this point it was more pale yellow, they both brightened at the exact same speed, the exact same time, the exact same size, they glowed for approx 3 seconds and then faded back to "normal star" brightness or "average" star brightness, and they continued to move in the line of 2 across the sky at the same speed, never changing direction that we could tell, and staying the exact same distance apart. They never stopped, either. We watched these two things move out of view and fade until! we could no longer see them. They did not flash, blink, move strangely, or change movement, they glowed once simultaneously together very brightly. No trail. There were no sounds. I tried to get video but t was too late, and too dark. My husband is a technician, and I am an artist. We have 2 kids who were both in bed at this time. We were not drinking and we do not do drugs. We often spend a lot of time on our deck with our garden and chickens. We have never seen anything like this before. Not long after (about 10-15 minutes), I did see what appeared to be a satellite in the sky, similar to the above mentioned objects, but only 1, moving in the same direction, but directly above my head, it never grew bright or glowed, it remained exactly the same until it was out of site, and it also appeared to be moving faster than the other two objects so because it seemed different and much like other satellites we have seen, I assumed this third object was indeed a satellite but I thought I should mention it. Thanks.

Surprise, AZ
Flashing lights in the western sky. 1 toward the direction of Palo Verde, the other WNW of my position in Surprise, AZ. They are there "almost" every night in 1 position or another. The one to the WSW that was there tonight appeared to be in the vicinity of Palo Verde disappeared first. It was there for almost 2 hours and went out suddenly. The one to the west stayed there until it went down below the horizon as if to have a fixed position and went down like the sun would. This is NOT a rare sighting. It occurs "almost" every time I go out at night between the hours of 9pm and 1am. There are some nights when I see it to the ESE over Eastern Phoenix. When I do not see it, looking west, I see it looking to the ESE. I see them over the White Tank Mountains and they appear to be well beyond the mountains over the open desert. Helicopters do not have fuel capacity to stay in one spot for that amount of time and do not shut there lights off and go away. Airplanes fly underneath them and move in a direct flight line.

There was one big orange circle light solid (a little bit flashy in the middle) and it moves pretty fast and disappeared after about 10 miles away from the Riverwalk where I saw!

Daughter pointed out strange light in the sky that looked crazy to her. I saw it and immediately took out my phone. There were probably 5 or so white lights that flashed from left to right, then right to left, continuously. The sun was not yet set and the lights were brighter than anything possible. It was very long horizontally, moved extremely fast, it was there and gone in less than 2 minutes and made no noise that we could hear. It was not visible by the end of the video. I have the video ready to upload.

I called into house to my sister to have a witness. She came out and object was stationary about 10 more seconds, then slowly moved out of sight, lower than the houses in front of us. Smoke was left behind when it disappeared from sight.

On the reported date and time. I was sitting on my back porch,facing west when I heard what I believed to be a helicopter coming from the south east direction. I then witnessed what appeared to be a warm white orb from behind the tree line. Then I saw what appeared to be and sounded like a fighter jet tailing the white orb. Once the jet appeared the buffeting sound of a "helicopter" went mute. All that was heard was the fighter jet. I watched both the UFO and the aircraft travel across the sky from southeast to northwest. I recorded as much of much of the event as I could. The video clearly shows the white orb traveling with no air craft beacons or physical fuselage,compared to the dark fighter jet with its red beacons activated. I sent the video via text to my younger brother and fiance. My brother posted the video to his twitter account around 23:00 directly after the event. By the very next morning, his tweet was deleted. And every evidence of the post and video was deleted from his iPhone. I still have the original video on my iPhone and will send upon any request! The goose bumps and the immense adrenaline rush is unforgettable.

Then, i saw much lower, like same high with birds, dark triangle. It was 21:13 Last night every street had a bright light, and i could see what it is. Too bad my phone is not for night picture on the sky. I just decided to watch. I use my strong flash light also. That craft was slowly quietly moving without and lights. After this craft disapeared, it came back in 5 min. Looks like it made a circle. I watched again. The way it was moving in the dark, (i could see it because of street bright lights) it looks like a piramid. Thst was above of my neighborhood.

One white dot followed by a similar white dot. Very bright at first site, then faded slowly while moving north to south in formation. Moved slowly, with no variance in distance between them. Source of the report provides no contact information. PD

McKinleyville, CA
On the night of April 21, 2017 at 9:03 PM Pacific Time, I walked outside to move my car from the driveway to the street in Humboldt County, California. As I walked outside and looked to the sky, Westward, above the Pacific Ocean, there were four spherical or circular red lights that were very bright red in the center and in a formation similar to the big dipper star constellation. The objects were moving in formation upward and to the right (if on land looking at the Pacific Ocean the objects were moving North). I immediately thought these were four ufos and I should grab my Samsung Galaxy S6 Smart Phone and take a video. At 9:04 PM Pacific Time, when raising the phone to take video, I took one accidental photograph, containing three of the four mentioned objects. The bottom three were captured. The missing ufo was about 150 degrees from furthest red dot on left in photograph. Although the three lights do not appear completely red in the photo, the four lights in the sky were clearly all red in person. Upon capturing that photograph and attempting to take one video, the objects seemed to be aware I was capturing them and decided to disperse and slightly break formation and each go upwards quickly. They continued to fly upwards at about a 90 degree angle until I could no longer see the faint red lights. They kept going and going until they faded away above the Pacific Ocean. This all happened within 1-2 minutes at most. Between 9:03-9:05 PM. The photograph was taken at 9:04 PM Pacific Time.

Stevenson Ranch, CA
We saw a white light with red and blue highlights pulsate from bright to dim to bright to dim, the fly across the sky to left, come to stop, shoot straight up, then stop. It then got brighter again, travelled across the sky from left to right in approximately 20 to 30 seconds, during which time the white light was pulsating from left to right and it got larger as it travelled across the sky. Then abruptly it stopped again, pulsed bright white and then shot straight up in the sky until it was nothing but a dim point of light. During the whole event, we saw airplanes going by and it did not resemble an airplane, nor did the lights function in the same way.

Lynn, IN
I was driving my semi on highway 36 and seen this object flying low above the tree line. I actually followed it from Palestine, Ohio, into Lynn, Indiana, and then lost sight of it. The object was very large, and looked grayish black or dark gray, and about the size of 2-3 football fields long. I have a video of the craft on my cell phone as I tried photographing it while driving.

I was working in the backyard and looked up and noticed an object in the Western sky above the roof of my garage. It was shaped like a ring or a doughnut, with a large hole in the middle. It was a metallic orange color that reflected light as it moved in the sky. It was completely silent and slowly moved horizontally against the wind from North to Southwest across the field of view. It did not change elevation as it was flying and made very strange movements. For most of the time I saw it, it was flat, but then suddenly it would flip up so you could really see the ‘O’ shape of it and I could see right through it. As it headed further Southwest out of my view, I ran and got my husband so we could both go out in the front yard and watch it from there. He also saw it and we stood there watching it for another minute or so. It got smaller as it went further West and just disappeared. Here is the link to the video I posted on YouTube of part of what I saw. https://youtu.be/oaAf3teZrvg

Seattle, WA
At 3:09AM on 4/21/17, a white light was seen moving north in the eastern sky. The color and brightness were comparable to a star, however it flew at a similar speed and altitude to an airplane. No flashing lights were observed and it moved in the opposite direction of the nearest airport. After 10 seconds, it completely disappeared. Overall cloud coverage was minimal and the sky was clear where the light had disappeared.
